Intro

Join Emma for another truly empowering and enriching spiritual adventure in the heart chakra of the world, Glastonbury.

This heart warming and transformative retreat will be held at the stunningly beautiful and peaceful Lower Coxbridge House, a rare gem located three miles away from Glastonbury. Surrounded by quintessentially English farmland, this really is the place to get away from it all, where you cannot help but slow down and feel a greater connection to nature and your inner Goddess too.

The yoga classes will be taught in the light and airy yoga space with large French windows opening onto wooden decking offering panoramic views of Glastonbury Tor.

Accommodation is available for up to nine people in a combination of twin rooms, double rooms and single rooms in the main House and a yurt in the field. There’s one double en-suite room available, with all the other rooms sharing both a shower room and a bathroom. There are also outdoor showers for those wanting to get closer to nature and shower with a view of the Tor in the distance – sublime!

Yummy vegetarian food made with locally sourced and predominantly organic produce will be lovingly prepared by the amazing chef, Olga, who is truly passionate about healthy vegetarian food. Olga has many years of experience catering with both raw and cooked foods for yoga retreats and this is evident in the quality and love of the eating experience.

There is no doubt that the retreat will be an unforgettable experience, which will allow you to take time out from your daily routine, enjoy the spiritual and Goddess energy of Glastonbury with its powerful ley lines, stunning Tor and amazing crystal shops, and indulge in some uplifting, healing and rejuvenating yoga.

Lower Coxbridge House is simply wonderful. It is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty with magnificent 360 degree panoramic views of the Somerset countryside and Glastonbury Tor. It really is a gem, providing peace, privacy, seclusion and tranquillity, a rare find in this over cluttered world. It’s the perfect place to retreat and (re)connect with nature, so that you may leave feeling rested and renewed.

Located on the outskirts of the quiet and rural hamlet of Lower Coxbridge, only three miles from Glastonbury town, 50 minutes from Bristol, 90 minutes from Southampton and within easy reach from London by road or train, Lower Coxbridge House is a highly individual property, beautifully designed and furnished, providing a charming, rustic and homely venue for a very special break away.

To Emma, yoga encourages the unfolding of the true self, of allowing the spirit to shine, the heart to lighten and the soul expression. Teaching a flowing and dynamic form of Hatha yoga, Emma encourages awareness of breath and energies of alignment so that one can experience the transformative, healing and uplifting effects of yoga for oneself. A gentle yoni class, to truly connect with the womb and heart space, will also be taught during the retreat.

With no more than nine students in each of these classes, you can expect to receive plenty of one-to-one attention with some Reiki thrown in! This provides a wonderful opportunity to deepen your practice in a safe and nurturing environment with an empathic and intuitive teacher.

Classes are suitable for all levels of ability except absolute beginners and those who have chronic conditions and/or injuries. Yoga mats and all props are provided; please just bring your heart and spirit!
